903. The Prisoner of War Question
"The most critical place is to be able to use the fastest action to launch a defense on the spot after the airdrop is completed, and at the same time complete the assembly of troops, and then launch a surprise attack on the intended target."
Ke Mingxiang finished answering, and at the same time said in a low voice: "Commander-in-chief, when will the transport plane assigned to us arrive?" Without jumping from the plane a few times, the troops will never mature. ”
"It's coming! I went to the aircraft factory the day before yesterday to see that 21 Furious Dragons are already in their final tests. This time, there are a total of 15 transport planes assigned to you, to ensure that the delivery is completed in one time; 6 bombers to ensure maximum fire support for you. I'll give you another year to train, and then you'll see the real thing. ”
Bai Shujie said in a low voice: "You are a senior general, you should know that our troops are limited. Once a big war breaks out, it is necessary to be able to be invincible with one hundred. In order to make up for the lack of troops, we can only take the initiative by surprise attacks. ”
"There is no successful precedent in the world for the successful use of airdrop troops, and I want you to be the ones who set the world record. However, as you just said, for the airdrop operation to be successful, all disadvantages must be eliminated. ”
"Once our airborne operation is carried out, all the preparations must be kept up in advance. At this point, the company commander and platoon commander of each of your combat companies should take the time to go out with the reconnaissance plane to have a look, familiarize themselves with the environment of the East China Sea and the South China Sea as much as possible, and not be in a hurry when the time comes, and they will not even be able to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. ”
After returning from the paratrooper training base, Bai Shujie's butt was not next to the stool, Xiao Lamei suddenly came in and said, "The sales representative of the United States, Landers, asks to see him!" ”
Bai Shujie patted his head and suddenly remembered: "How is it, how did you deal with the prisoners you brought back last time?" ”
"According to what you said, 219 American soldiers are in Area A of the Black Ridge Special Guest House, and Bai Sheng's special company is responsible for guarding. Except for not being able to get out of the compound, everything else is provided first, and Major Harris has a telephone in his room, as if he is raising the emperor. I don't understand, is this a prisoner of war? It's clearly an old lady! ”
Xiao Lamei glanced at Bai Shujie fiercely, and then continued: "There are 254 British soldiers, and they are locked up in Area B of the Black Ridge Special Guest House. Between them and Area A of the American soldiers, according to what you said, two barbed wire fences separate. They can see each other and talk to each other. However, the three meals a day for British soldiers were the meals of ordinary people. ”
"As for the 703 Filipino soldiers and the 122 Turkish soldiers in Indochina, all of them are now working as coolies. Together with the prisoners of war of the little devils, they are digging caves for aircraft factories and expanding supersonic aircraft production lines. According to the report, the Filipino soldiers were obedient, and the Indochinese soldiers were basically beaten before they could work. ”
Bai Shujie smiled and said, "Has the American representative Landers been to the prisoner of war camp?" ”
Xiao Lamei nodded: "Except for sleeping and returning to his villa at night, he is there every day, even eating." ”
Bai Shujie waved his hand: "Then let him come in and see what he can say." ”
Landers strode in and shouted at Bai Shujie: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, on behalf of the U.S. government, I make the strongest protest to you!" ”
"Oh, protest against what?" Bai Shujie pointed to the chair opposite him: "If you have anything to say, I would like to hear Mr. Landes's high arguments." ”
"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, your army has violated the sovereignty of the United States by illegally occupying Palawan Island, maliciously attacking American soldiers, plundering US government property, and imprisoning American soldiers!"
After sitting down, Landers said angrily: "We, the U.S. government, want Mr. Commander-in-Chief to withdraw from Palawan Island, release American soldiers, return American property, and issue an apology." ”
"No, my army has declared war on Britain and Japan, how can it clash with your American army?" Bai Shujie shook his head: "There must be a misunderstanding in the middle, definitely, this is definitely a misunderstanding!" ”
"How could it be a misunderstanding?" Landers slapped the table and shouted, "Our soldiers have been escorted to Pyongyang by you, and you still say that there is a misunderstanding?" ”
"What did you say?" Bai Shujie stood up suddenly: "The people below reported to me that the prisoners of war escorted back are all English-speaking prisoners of war, where are there any American soldiers?" This is definitely a misunderstanding! Also, I received a report that my army landed in Kota Kinabalu and Kuda, why did Palawan Island appear again? ”
"Although I have issued a statement declaring Palawan Island to be our inherent territory, I have not ordered them to occupy Palawan Island now, at least under the current conditions, the time is not yet ripe."
"Mr. Landes, I think you must be mistaken, and things are certainly not what you say. Where did you hear about this? ”
Landers was already about to collapse from Bai Shujie's scoundrel stimulation: "I met American soldiers in your prisoner of war camp, and I have been living with them recently, and you actually said that I misunderstood?" ”
"Prisoner of war camps? Mr. Landes, do you mean prisoner of war camps? Bai Shujie suddenly realized: "The prisoner of war camp is right!" We, the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force, have always advocated international justice and upheld the spirit of international humanitarianism, so the prisoner of war camps are open to the outside world. ”
"Everyone but our enemies will be able to go in and visit. Mr. Landers, since you have visited our POW camps, are there any good ones that will allow us to further improve the management of the POW camps? ”
Bang, bang, bang--Landers really couldn't listen to it anymore, and slapped the table angrily: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, I'm talking to you about American soldiers, please don't go to other places!" ”
"Mr. Landes, be careful with your words and actions!" Bai Shujie was unhappy: "I have already sued you, our prisoner of war camp is a special place for British prisoners of war, what does it have to do with you Americans?" We have declared war on Britain, shouldn't British prisoners of war be held? ”
"Or do you mean, let me order all the British prisoners of war to be executed? That is contrary to the spirit of international humanitarianism, and we cannot do that. I think your remarks are problematic and inconsistent with your U.S. government's theory of human rights. ”
"All right, Mr. Commander-in-Chief." Landers was already a little helpless: "What do you want?" ”
"I don't have any other ideas, I just want to teach the vile and shameless Britons a lesson!" Bai Shujie shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "The Japanese devils invaded my motherland, and that is my enemy. Whoever hooks up with my enemy, or even provides my enemy with strategic materials such as fuel, steel, and rubber, is also my enemy! ”
Landers finally understood what Bai Shujie's fundamental purpose was in his nonsense.
First of all, Bai Shujie has never admitted that he has American soldiers in his hands, that is, he does not admit that he has clashed with the United States. It can be seen from this that Bai Shujie does not want to stand on the opposite side of the US government.
Second, the US government provided the Japanese with such strategic materials as oil, scrap steel, and rubber, which increased the potential of the Japanese in a war against China and provided disguised support to the Japanese in their war against China. In this sense, the US Government is actually a huge accomplice in its aggression against China.
Again, Bai Shujie keeps saying that he wants to punish the British, but in fact he wants to punish the US government. But Bai Shujie didn't want to be an enemy of the U.S. government, so he first emphasized that the captured "are English-speaking captives!" ”
Landes knew that Bai Shujie was using despicable and shameless diplomatic rhetoric, and he was using the diplomatic trick of "stealing concepts".
Everyone on earth knows that not all Chinese speakers are Chinese, and naturally all English speakers cannot be British!
Bai Shujie can command hundreds of thousands of troops, doesn't he understand this truth? Will he, like a fool, think that the "English speakers" are all British?
Thinking of this, Landes's eyes when he looked at Bai Shujie began to become complicated, and he began to wonder a little in his heart:
What kind of person is this? His words sound like nonsense, but in fact, every sentence has a deep hidden meaning. This is not like a general commanding thousands of troops, but like a treacherous and cunning diplomat!
The profound meaning behind the four words "English-speaking" has been fully understood by Landers -- Bai Shujie is accusing the Americans of colluding with the British, not only conniving at the Japanese to do wrongdoing, but even directly creating convenient conditions for the Japanese war of aggression against China!
"Bai Shujie is warning the U.S. government!" Landes finally came to his conclusion: "What he means is very clear, if the US government continues to condone and support the Japanese invasion of China, he will not hesitate to declare war on the United States, just as he is doing now against the British!" ”
"All right, Mr. Commander-in-Chief!" Landers waved his hand: "Let's talk now about how to deal with the English-speaking prisoners of war." ”
Bai Shujie saw that Landers had fully understood what he meant, so he said sternly: "Prisoner of war camp, right? Mr. Landes, we didn't interfere with your actions, we just let you see for yourself. I believe that even you, the United States, which claims to be a country of human rights and freedom, do not have prisoner of war camps like me! ”
"However, the future and fate of these prisoners of war are not in my hands. Mr. Landes, the little Japanese devils call me the Shina Devil, and you must know that. That's all I want to say, and I'm afraid you won't be able to do the rest. Let's go back and ask for instructions, we still have time, don't we? ”
"As for speaking of what was confiscated, Mr. Landes, 2 Japanese tankers and 2 Japanese grain ships, this is my enemy's thing; The two ocean-going freighters flying the British flag, also belonging to the enemy, should be confiscated. ”
"The Netherlands has been occupied by the Germans, and their 4 tankers have lost their nationality, and now it is very normal for me to take care of them. Only one of them flew your American flag, but it has been determined that it is oil destined for Nagasaki, and of course I will confiscate all of them. ”
"2 Bagley-class destroyers, I didn't take them back as my own. Rather, let you, the citizens of the United States, Mr. Al Capone, pass it on to your American government on your behalf. ”
"When it comes to the islands in the South China Sea, I don't have any problems on my side. As long as things are going in a good direction, I can just let it go. Mr. Landes, didn't I understand enough? ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
